Since implemented in 2017, the excise escalator on wine has increased the rate paid by 18 percent with no oversight by Parliamentarians. This tax is too rigid and does not take into consideration the state of national and regional economies, nor the tariff impacts we face

@BlindTasters Château-Grillet makes fine Viogniers, too.

@WinesofCanada It looks like the Newfoundland Cider Company has produced some mead and cyser products. They don't seem to have Twitter, but they can be found on their website, Instagram, and Facebook by the looks of things.

Apparently French 🇫🇷 wine NOT Canadian wine🇨🇦🍷

[Dan O'Keefe @DanONWine]

@WinesofCanada I just helped to bottle some of their brand new wines. Very nice rosé. I expect they'll be released soon.

[Dan O'Keefe @DanONWine]

@wineclubca Looks like Westcott Vineyards to me.

The numbers are not good. VQA Ontario wine sales are stuck in a rut and just can't gain traction like they have in B.C. The problem, who to blame (looking at you, LCBO) and what needs to change are examined in this post on Wines in Niagara.

A premium wine for a premium dinner. Enjoying the Stallion premium red blend from De Simone Vineyards with steak, mushrooms, carrots, and stuffed baked potatoes. Cheers!

Do better @sobeys ... find someone who can curate a selection of beer and wine that reflects where you live. Show some pride in where you live and do business. Plus ... we have some pretty awesome beer and wine right in our own backyard.

No better way to ring in the #NewYear than with #Smitten Sparkling from @back10cellars and prosciutto-wrapped melon. Match made in heaven. Special thanks to Andrew and Christina for gifting this bottle to Shannon and I for our engagement. Tremendously grateful. Cheers to 2023!

[Dan O'Keefe @DanONWine]

Not surprised to see @LeaningPostWine mentioned. Fantastic list as always, many very deserving wines, wineries, and winemakers included.

@WinesofCanada Had a really nice visit here about 4 years ago.

[Dan O'Keefe @DanONWine]

@WinesofCanada I believe it's Bob and Marzia Murdoch. Certain on the first names of the husband and wife, fairly sure on the last name.

@winewankers That's why I picked up a dozen rosés.

[Dan O'Keefe @DanONWine]

@andrewinereview And what might that pair well with, besides terrible puns?

[Dan O'Keefe @DanONWine]

To @Paul_Pender, @Tawse_Winery, @RedstoneWines, and to everyone who knew Paul. Tonight we raise our glasses in memory of Paul. We were fortunate to meet you, share meals at Tawse events with you, and enjoy so many wines that you crafted. Gone too soon. Thank you for your impact.

[Rick VanSickle @rickwine]

Such a tragedy in the Niagara wine community. @Tawse_Winery winemaker Paul Pender has died. Story posted now
